We need to think of each other as sisters and brothers, and to be concerned with each other’s welfare. We must seek to lessen the suffering of others. Rather than working to acquire wealth, we need to do something meaningful, directed toward the welfare of humanity as a whole.

On my recent visit to Suriname, I was inspired by the efforts of Indigenous communities to safeguard the rainforest and its rich biodiversity.

The wisdom, resilience & determination of Indigenous peoples are essential to secure the survival of our planet.

This year on #InternationalDayoftheWorldsIndigenousPeople we are thinking about "The role of indigenous women in the preservation and transmission of traditional knowledge".

We must fight the racism, dehumanization and poverty they suffer every day.
